We just have no bite at all up top, not 1 creative bone on the pitch.....

Can we fly Mane and Salah back in time for 2nd half?
 
They have a back 5 that just sit on the edge of the penalty box ... WTF use is it playing the ball around at the back/midfield? They aren't coming out FFS ! We need people to get down the wings and just get the ball into the centre. Let it fall to Jota or Bobby or let them fuck up the clearance / give away a penalty / OG.

Milner has to come off for Jones or Ox.
 
We might as well brings Jones on at HT. He won't move the ball quickly - which we need to do - but at least he's got a goal in him.
 
I'm feeling so nervous and I think our players are too. You could just see the question in their minds – with Salah and Mane gone, who is going to be "the man" to provide goals? So far no one has been able to step up (other than perhaps Matip, who has been immense). It's almost like a perfect storm – we seem to be dominating, but turning an advantage into goals against 10 men defending deep is never easy, we can't throw caution to the wind because Arsenal have the quality to hurt us on the counter and Trent who is usually our "lock-picker" is rusty and extremely wasteful as he usually is in his first game back after a layoff. We are dominating territory, but can't seem to turn it into goals or even clear chances and everyone knows that a draw under these circumstances would give Arsenal huge heart and possible an advantage for the 2nd leg. Klopp will have to find some very precise words and tactical changes at half-time.

So far no one has been able to step up (other than perhaps Matip, who has been immense). It's almost like a perfect storm – we're playing against 10 mens defending deep, which is never easy, while trying to figure out how to score without our two main guys, we can't throw caution to the wind because Arsenal have the quality to hurt us on the counter and Trent is rusty and extremely wasteful as he usually is in his first game back after a layoff. We are dominating territory, but can't seem to turn it into goals or even clear chances and we know that a draw would give Arsenal huge heart and possible an advantage for the 2nd leg. Klopp will have to find some very precise words and tactical changes before the 2nd half.

And an early goal.
